It's the year 2035, and the world of blockchain, web 3 and cryptocurrency has changed drastically over the past 15 years. After its emergence in 2020, blockchain technology quickly became an integral part of our lives. In 2021, Bitcoin had a massive surge in value as more people adopted it as a reliable form of currency. The first smart contracts were also released around this time that allowed for secure transactions between users without any third party involvement. This led to an explosion in decentralized applications (dApps) that allowed users to take full control of their data and digital assets while securely interacting with each other online. In 2024, Ethereum launched its own virtual machine - EVM - which enabled developers to create their own tokens on top of Ethereum...
